My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Chapter 141 - 141:  Clear Up

But now, was Lewis actually going to stand up for Keira?

Isla was momentarily at a loss for words.

Erin, on the other hand, had nothing to lose and blurted out, "Mr. Horton knows her husband? With the way he's dressed, could he be anything other than a construction worker? Even if he's not a laborer, at best, he could be a contractor, right?"

These days, even contractors could make a lot of money.

But in Erin's mouth, it seemed like even this job was somewhat contemptible.

Lewis's gaze darkened, and just as he was about to speak, someone knocked on the door, and a man in a suit walked in. "Sorry to intrude."

Seeing him, someone in the crowd immediately exclaimed, "Mr. Hill?"

The man in the suit, Mr. Hill, was slightly taken aback. "You know me?"

"Well, yes. Our company has recently been working with yours, trying to provide you with a constant temperature energy system. You might not remember me, I'm just an intern at my company," the young man said with an awkward smile.

Someone whispered from the side, "Who's that?"

The young man said, "He's an expatriate who has returned to Crera to pursue the real estate business. I heard their family's enterprise has spread across the globe, and now he's expanding into the Crera market. He's quite impressive!"

"Really? What's someone like that doing here? Could he be looking for Mr. Horton?"

In the room, only the Horton family had the status to discuss matters with such a family.

However, Lewis frowned.

The real estate market in Crera was currently in decline, and Horton Group's real estate business had already completely transformed. He couldn't remember having any cooperation with the Martin family.

As he was pondering, Mr. Hill bowed respectfully to Scott Martin and took out a contract from the document bag he was carrying. "Boss, I've thoroughly investigated the construction site you just inspected, and it meets all our investment standards. Here's the contract; it was quite urgent, so I brought it over. Please sign it."

After that, he also nodded apologetically to the people around the table.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

Lewis frowned and looked toward Scott Martin, his gaze turning abruptly cold.

Under the table, Keira had just been holding his hand to prevent him from speaking, and even when she brought up her own background, she hadn't let go, seemingly seeking strength from the gesture.

Now, with everyone's attention shifting, Keira wasn't being scrutinized as closely anymore, so she relaxed and attempted to withdraw her hand.

But the next moment, the large hand she had been holding took control and grasped hers!

Keira tugged hard but couldn't pull her hand back.

She looked at Lewis in surprise and saw a possessive look and a hint of jealousy on his face. Was that...jealousy?

Following his gaze, Keira saw Scott. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Keira couldn't help but feel a mixture of amusement and dismay.

The appearance of Scott seemed to have triggered a sense of crisis in Lewis...

She thought for a moment and decided not to move.

Right now, everyone's attention was focused on Scot, who could feel the burning stares of the crowd. Yet among those gazes was one filled with incomprehensible hostility.

After signing the paper, Scott looked up and saw Lewis staring at him.

Scott gave him a warm smile, then turned to Keira. "Miss Keira, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Scott Martin."

He extended his hand toward Keira.

Keira didn't know what to say.

She could only shake hands with Scott Martin using her other hand, the one Lewis hadn't grasped, and then she quickly let go. Despite that, Lewis's expression still turned gloomy.

Scott seemed as if he hadn't noticed the tension and once again looked at Erin. "I'm not a construction worker, just so you know. The reason I'm dressed like this is that I was busy with an inspection just now, which seems to have led to all these misunderstandings. I apologize for that."

Erin was shocked.

Her mouth hung open wide enough to fit an entire egg.

She awkwardly looked at Scott, and then back to Keira, finding herself at a loss for words.

Charles's eyes immediately lit up. "I knew it! How could someone like Dr. South marry a bricklayer? Turns out he's quite the big shot!"

"One is Dr. South, the other is a real estate tycoon. They're a perfect match, aren't they?"

" I just googled the Martin family. My God, they're kind of impressive!"

"..."

Isla and Jake frowned, looking toward Keira in confusion.

How could it possibly be...

How could she possibly have married such an influential figure?!

Jake felt it was impossible to take Keira away from such a man to become his lover...

He subconsciously glanced over at Lewis.

He noticed that his esteemed uncle also had a darkened expression; inexplicably, he felt a twinge of satisfaction.

Yes, for someone like Keira, even if Jake couldn't have her, it seemed his uncle might not stand a chance either...

While he was thinking this, Isla suddenly said, "Keira, is this really your husband?" The question made Keira give her a somewhat mocking smile. "Do you hope it's true?"

Isla was taken aback.

Keira didn't beat around the bush and flatly said, "He's not my husband."

Scott also let out a sigh. "I'm not Miss Olsen's husband. She helped me out with an umbrella in the rain yesterday, and I was returning the umbrella. And somehow Miss Isla added me on WhatsApp, then summoned me here, saying I could meet Miss Olsen, so I came..."

He explained very clearly.

Isla immediately felt relieved. "I see, it was all a misunderstanding!"

Keira looked at her reaction, finding it ludicrous.

When Scott Martin was thought to be a construction worker, they denied knowing each other, but Isla didn't believe them and led the charge in attacking Keira.

But as soon as Scott Martin turned out to be a real estate tycoon, with just a few words, Isla believed him.

Keira said casually, "As long as you believe it, that's fine. It saves me from being tagged with another hat."

The remark laid bare Isla's intention, leaving her feeling embarrassed. She laughed it off. "My bad for the misunderstanding. But, Keira, who really is your husband? Why not bring him here for all of us to see... I'm sure everyone is curious. Just who is so fortunate and doesn't care about your status to have married someone as outstanding as you?"

She stressed the word "outstanding" with a satirical tone.

Professor Miller, upon hearing this, also looked at Keira. "Keira, bring him along next time so I can have a look and see if he's right for you."

Keira smiled faintly, about to nod.

But unexpectedly, she heard the deep voice of the man beside her, filled with a possessive assertiveness. "There's no need for next time. He's already here."
